Yeah, recompiling 7.2 on my intel box worked fine also. Why do you need
7.2? The only significant things I can see added are
internationalisation and VACUUMing. Your English seems pretty adequate,
and a DB will probably live without VACUUMing until the debs come
out... and there are 7.1.3 debs in woody. They have all the
SQL-compliance stuff that 6.3 lacked (foreign key relationships, some tx
fixes etc. IIRC).
Mind you, 7.1.3 won't install on potato (wants newer libc and a whole
stack of other stuff) so I had to recompile to get the extras (I really
needed foreign key relationships). Try recompiling; it's not that hard.
